I've decided on a Giant VT3!

[Mrbonk]

Greetings, After speaking at length with the guy at the bike
shop, I've decided on a Giant VT3 as my new MTB. I can't
wait It's going to be such a step up from this POS
Malvern Star thing I've been riding until now!!

Upon the recommendation of those who replied to my original
request for info on the Mongoose series of MTB's, I decided
to give them a wide berth. Good thing too, according to the
bike shop guy.....in his words, "Yeah, they look good, but
that's about it."

I think that you'll enjoy it. I've got a VT and have had a
lot of fun with
it.Just check that the rear shock is mounted correctly
with the red cap up and the blue knobs down. The end of
the seatpost hits the blue rebound adjust knob in the
other position.

I have the VT 2 and my Blue knob is up, close to the seat
post. no sign of any damage. I've asked the LBS and they say
it's mounted correctly. see link

Ahhh. I see that they've changed it. Hasn't always been
like that....

Try putting your seat right down as if you're doing a steep
downhill and see what the end of the seat post hits.
